Yup, unlike some of the best Samsung phones, this option didn’t go on sale when the holiday shopping season first kicked off on November 20. Each day, I checked for a discount to include in my hand-picked Black Friday Samsung phone deals, and every day I was left empty-handed. So you bet I was excited to finally see this bad boy on sale!

While this 15% markdown doesn’t knock the mid-ranger to its best price, I’d say it’s good enough. After all, this Pixel 9a rival packs some impressive specs. For starters, it comes with a gorgeous 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a smooth 60-120Hz refresh rate, delivering fantastic visuals and superb brightness.

The phone doesn’t disappoint performance-wise either. It’s equipped with an Exynos 1580 chipset and delivers an ultra-smooth, reliable everyday experience. From light gaming and multitasking to browsing, it handles everything without breaking a sweat.

Is it any good at taking photos? Absolutely. You’re getting vibrant photos with decent detail in various settings. On the rear, it comes with a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide, and 5MP macro. Don’t forget to check out camera samples in our Galaxy A56 review to get a better idea of its camera capabilities.

Another highlight here is the software. The device runs on Android 15 out of the gate and received an Android 16 update not long ago. Plus, it comes with seven years of OS and security support, which is on par with the Galaxy S and Galaxy Z lineups.

Bottom line: the Galaxy A56 is a top choice right now. At its standard $550 price for the 256GB variant, it’s undoubtedly a bit steep. But this weekend, you can get it for 15% — Amazon’s first proper discount this Black Friday.
